This is like the game â€œTelephoneâ€ we use to play as kidsâ€¦YouTube must have felt left out, so it invented itâ€™s own version of the game.Â

I canâ€™t fault YouTube too much for this, because that is no easy task.Â Translating audio from a video perfectly is almost near impossible with all the dialects, inflections and speech patterns around.

Whatâ€™s the Â Solution?

You can decide to have the â€˜YouTube Auto-Captionâ€™ feature not checked by un-checking the â€˜Master Tabâ€™ it in the Manage Account section under the main settings tab.Â This will remove all of the Auto-Captions Feature from all of your videos.

However you can still activate certain videoâ€™s Auto-Caption manually in the â€˜editingâ€™ section of each video.Â So individual video Auto-Caption settings will override the master â€˜YouTube Auto-Captionâ€™.

My suggestion would be the latter.Â But you are still going to find the issue of misspelling and lost translation.

The Super Solution or Ultimate Fix.Â

Un-check the YouTube Auto-Caption in the Manage Accounts, and go into the individual video settings and add in the YouTube Auto-Caption, but then download it and change the mistakes manually.

This will save you tons of time rather then transcribing your video from scratch.

Other Methods for Transcribing Your Videos!

There are other methods for you to get the transcriptions done.

You can go to Fiverr.com and hire someone to transcribe each video you do.

You can check on Google for a transcription business to do it.Â Usually this costs quite a bit more then Fiverr, because these company will transcribe your video from scratch.Â Which can cost more due to the placement of the time-codes in the transcription.The timecode, measures the length of the video and reads the specific time when one speaks in the video.

My Suggestions:

If you donâ€™t have the time to do it yourself go to Fiverr.com and provide someone the transcription download to have him or her do the small fixes while not having to pay for additional timecodes.

Exciting Additional Features in Beta!

You should be aware that YouTube also has a â€˜YouTube Translateâ€™ feature for users who watch the videos.Â Now for those viewers in a different language can come in and translate (as they watch) the Caption that you create for your videos.Â Pretty Cool!

Final Thoughts

Go through and take the day to tweak the Auto-Captions that YouTube creates for your videos.Â You will be glad that you took the time Â because, youâ€™ll not only increase your traffic and audience size, but also avoid mishaps where you were trying to say this:

“We make the best pizza in the world”

But ended up with this…

“We make a pest pizza out of coal”.Â
